Starknet’s native token STRK is now accessible on&nbsp;<a href="https://bsc.news/post/solana-blockchain-ecosystem-deep-dive" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana</a> through&nbsp;<a href="https://bsc.news/post/near-protocol-anniversary-news-updates" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NEAR Protocol</a>’s&nbsp;<a href="https://bsc.news/post/near-intents-5-billion" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">intent-based infrastructure</a>, allowing users to receive STRK directly in a Solana wallet without using a traditional bridge. The launch was&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/solana/status/2011891408345710612" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> on Jan. 15 and comes just one day after Solana’s official X account mocked Starknet’s activity and valuation, telling users to “send it straight to 0.”<div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">BREAKING: STRK, the <a href="https://twitter.com/Starknet?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Starknet</a> token, is now live on Solana via <a href="https://twitter.com/NEARProtocol?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@NEARProtocol</a> Intents 🔥 <a href="https://t.co/yQXcj8IDqy" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/yQXcj8IDqy</a><a href="https://t.co/SjzUB1axbY" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/SjzUB1axbY</a>— Solana (@solana) <a href="https://twitter.com/solana/status/2011891408345710612?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">January 15, 2026</a></blockquote></div><h2 id="span-span-strong-what-exactly-launched-on-solana-strong-span-span">What Exactly Launched On Solana?</h2>The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.starknet.io/blog/strk-is-now-natively-accessible-on-solana-via-near-intents/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launch</a> makes STRK natively accessible within Solana’s DeFi ecosystem. Users can acquire STRK in a Solana wallet using NEAR Intents, a system that allows users to state what they want to end up with rather than manually moving assets across chains.Worth noting, Solana is one of crypto’s most active environments by usage and liquidity. The network currently holds nearly $11 billion in total value locked, according to recent industry data. Until now, Starknet’s token lived largely within Ethereum-aligned environments.Instead of asking users to bridge STRK step by step, the integration allows them to receive STRK on Solana directly from a wide range of supported tokens and chains. The execution is handled by solvers operating through NEAR Intents.<h2 id="span-span-strong-why-did-solana-s-send-it-to-0-post-matter-strong-span-span">Why Did Solana’s “Send It To 0” Post Matter?</h2>The timing of the launch drew attention because of a&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/solana/status/2011438153199223135" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post</a> made by Solana’s verified X account on Jan. 14. The post claimed Starknet had eight daily active users, 10 daily transactions, and a $1 billion market cap with a $15 billion fully diluted valuation, ending with “Send it straight to 0.”<div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Starknet has 8 daily active users, 10 daily transactions, and still somehow has a 1b MC and 15b FDV LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Send it straight to 0— Solana (@solana) <a href="https://twitter.com/solana/status/2011438153199223135?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">January 14, 2026</a></blockquote></div>The figures cited in the post appear to come from an April 2024 snapshot. The fully diluted valuation number was incorrect. Current&nbsp;<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/starknet-token/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinMarketCap</a> data places Starknet’s FDV closer to $843 million, not $15 billion.Many in the industry viewed the post as a calculated marketing move rather than a serious critique.<h2 id="span-span-strong-why-did-starknet-choose-near-intents-strong-span-span">Why Did Starknet Choose NEAR Intents?</h2>The technical path STRK takes to reach Solana runs through NEAR Intents. This is not a standard bridge. It uses a solver-based execution model.Users state an outcome. For example, “I want STRK in my Solana wallet.” They do not execute each step required to get there. Solvers compete to fulfill that request using available liquidity and routes across supported chains.The system hides complexity from the user. There is no need to understand how Starknet differs from Solana, how wrapping works, or which intermediary holds funds during transit.This approach treats cross-chain movement as a normal action, not a specialized task. That distinction matters for usability.<h3 id="span-span-strong-how-solver-based-execution-works-in-practice-strong-span-span">How Solver-Based Execution Works In Practice</h3>After choosing the desired outcome, users connect the relevant wallets and submit an intent. A solver then executes the necessary steps across chains. Once complete, STRK appears in the user’s Solana wallet.From the user’s point of view, it feels closer to a swap than a bridge. The technical coordination happens behind the scenes.<h2 id="span-span-strong-where-can-strk-be-used-on-solana-strong-span-span">Where Can STRK Be Used On Solana?</h2>Once STRK arrives on Solana, it can be used across familiar DeFi venues.This launch is not just about custody. It is about liquidity and execution.<h3 id="span-span-strong-liquidity-and-trading-venues-strong-span-span">Liquidity And Trading Venues</h3>Several established Solana protocols support STRK at launch.<ul><li>Meteora serves as the primary liquidity venue, allowing swaps and liquidity provision through standard AMM mechanics.</li><li>Jupiter enables spot trading for STRK with best execution across available liquidity sources.</li></ul>These integrations place STRK alongside other actively traded assets on Solana rather than isolating it as a novelty listing.<h3 id="span-span-strong-token-details-on-solana-strong-span-span">Token Details On Solana</h3>STRK exists on Solana as an SPL token. The SPL token address is:HsRpHQn6VbyMs5b5j5SV6xQ2VvpvvCCzu19GjytVSCozThis allows wallets, indexers, and DeFi protocols to interact with STRK using standard Solana tooling.<h2 id="span-span-strong-what-each-ecosystem-contributes-strong-span-span">What Each Ecosystem Contributes</h2>This launch is not a takeover or a migration. It is a coordinated setup where each network plays a clear role.Starknet contributes its native token and its Ethereum-aligned scaling ecosystem. Solana provides high-throughput markets, deep liquidity, and an active trading environment. NEAR supplies the intent-based execution layer that ties the systems together.The design avoids forcing users to manage complexity themselves. That choice reflects a broader shift in how interoperability is being approached across the industry.<h2 id="span-span-strong-conclusion-strong-span-span">Conclusion</h2>STRK is now available on Solana through NEAR Intents, allowing users to receive the token directly in a Solana wallet without traditional bridging steps. The integration relies on a solver-based execution model that hides cross-chain complexity while preserving access to Solana’s DeFi venues like Meteora and Jupiter.&nbsp;The launch followed a public taunt from Solana’s official account, highlighting ongoing tensions around valuation, usage, and narrative control. Technically, the setup shows how intent-based systems can connect distinct ecosystems without forcing users to manage interoperability themselves.<h2 id="span-span-resources-span-span">Resources</h2><ol><li><a href="https://x.com/solana" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana on X</a>: Posts (Jan. 14 - Jan. 16)</li><li><a href="https://www.starknet.io/blog/strk-is-now-natively-accessible-on-solana-via-near-intents/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blog post by Starknet</a>: STRK is now natively accessible on Solana via NEAR Intents</li><li><a href="https://docs.near-intents.org/near-intents" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NEAR Intents Documentation</a>: About NEAR Intents&nbsp;</li></ol>
